Final Cut Pro in Windows XP

Hi There,
Somewhat, it’s a silly question, but I could not find any contentment info about my concern which forced me to join apple communities.

I am using Windows XP and I would like to know if I can use Final Cut Pro in Windows OS. If it is possible, briefly demonstrate to me it would be much delightful.

Thank you...

AMD Sempron, Windows XP

Welcome to the Boards 🙂

Final Cut is for the Mac.

Question is why would you want to?

Edius, Premiere, Vegas, and a bunch of other PC NLEs are available for Windows boxes.

But FCS runs only on a Mac.

As Drew and David have already noted, FCP only runs under the Mac OSX which only runs on Apple Mac hardware.

If you really want to edit with FCP and still need to run windows programs, purchase an intel based Mac and set it up to dual boot into either MacOSX or Windows (or run VM Ware Fusion and run Windows within OSX).

Good luck,
